A population of 98 expatriate employees and family members from nine international locations (Philippines, China, Myanmar Indonesia, Syria, Thailand,, Netherlands, Venezuela, and Azerbaijan) was screened by the Union Oil Company of California between January 1, 1994 and December 31, 1995. The overall detection rate for enteric parasites was 53% with non-pathogenic parasites detected in 39% of the study group, pathogens in 3%, and both pathogenic and non-pathogenic parasites in 11%. Thirteen species of parasite were identified, with the largest varieties identified in repatriated personnel from Indonesia (11 species) and Syria (7 species). Highest infection rates were observed in expatriates returning from Thailand(67%), Syria(79%), and Indonesia(56%), although this result may be skewed because of the small number of expatriates from some countries. A short questionnaire on eating and drinking habits was sent to these personnel, and the results will be compared to infection status. In order to control the risk of parasitic infections, expatriate employee health programs may include education concerning both the prevention of parasitic infection and the meaning of a positive parasite screen, particularly for non-pathogenic infection.IntroductionEnteric parasite infection (infection by a parasite of the small intestine) is a risk for travelers to many of the countries the petroleum industry is sending expatriate employees to. With the increasing globalization of the energy industry, and with the opening of previously restricted areas in China,, Russia and the Far East to petroleum exploration, development and production, comes the increased risk for expatriate and frequently traveling employees to develop some form of enteric parasite infection. Because such infections are not common among domestic employees, and because they are often asymptomatic or exhibit symptoms that can easily be mistaken for more common ailments, returning travelers and expatriate employees in countries with high risk of infection may need to receive screening, diagnosis and treatment. Before international travel commences and at appropriate intervals during extended stays overseas, education for travelers, expatriates and their families may also be considered.The goals of this paper are three-fold:–To describe pre-travel health education efforts of an international energy resources company–To describe risk factors for infection among international travelers of that company based on the results of a survey–To describe the enteric parasite screening program of that company, and to summarize the results of the screening over a two-year periodBackgroundThe Problem.Health risks from foreign travel have been widely recognized in recent years as an emerging discipline within public health. The recognition of returning travelers as a vector for infection can be traced back to the introduction of quarantines on ships returning from the east by the Venetian Republic in the late 1300's. In this century, the rapid increase in volume of air travel, particularly to developing countries, has resulted in exposure of a larger proportion of the population to diseases once considered exotic.P. 633 Keywords: enteric parasite, traveler, molenaar, parasite screening, diarrhea, positive screen, pathogen, immunology, society of petroleum engineers, respondent Subjects: Health This content is only available via PDF. 1996.
